Claude Cox
Claude Cox wa a very popular man in Eatern Oregon
with a boundless faith In this country. He was straight few
ward and plain spoken with colorful ittk-urr.s.
P-rKeps a uajr to describe Claude would be to refer to
him a n -Accent -the -positive" person. He was an enthus
iastic person with a "rarin" to go" attitude toward life.
Hard work and personal accident hardly faxed him and
he vri ahead to build a fine business. Pride of Oregon
creamery products are widely known in this part of Oregon.
The Morrow County Creamery Is one of the few cream
eries left in the Northwest. It is still operated by the same
family and remains as a monument of achievement to
Claude and his family.
Headed For A Showdown
All sort of predictions have been made concerning the
decade of the 1970s. Most of them have one thing in com
mon. Thev foresee growth. Nineteen hundred and seventy,
however, may turn out to be a year that will be looked back
upon mainly as a period In which broad economic planning
by goernment and the managed economy began their final
approach to a day of reckoning as inflation maintained its
deadly course.
Nineteen hundred and seventy was a year in which it
rccair.e obvious to more people than ever before that govern
ment spending and government deficits are the root of high
and rising prices. It was also the year in which a great many
people began to doubt the ability of government to manage
its own affairs, much less manage the economy and control
federal spending programs. It was the year in w hich there was
both recession and inflation a condition for which the party
in power will no doubt be blamed but. as time goes on. could
become chronil. regardless of political labels. No matter
where an observer turned, whether in the field of money,
transportation, agriculture, bousing or economics, the failure
of centralized planning became painfully apparent la 1370.
And the failure has not been overlooked by various studies
and reports. There is cow every Indication that as we move
further into the 70' s, crises In money management will be
recurring as will the generally chaotic conditions that are
part and parcel of inflation. With each crisis, the chances
are good that repressive improvisation of one kind or another
will be brought to bear to cover up part failures of govern
ment planning.

Letter to the Editors:
When I saw the article by
Lois Winchester in the Heppner
Gazette -P.mes about the bold
hunter who had killed a doe
and there were her twin fawns
hovering over the dressed car
cass of their mother I thought
-Surely r.o Morrow County hunt
er would do this." I was telling
taxi driver about it and we
decided it was as sportsman
like as shooting your wife In
the back yard.
I learned about sportsman
ship in hunting many years ago
w-hen I was bird hunting witn
Forty Greamba and Ken Ma-
honev up Willow Creek. They
would never shoot unless the
bird was on the wing.

Greenbuga can survive and
are active at lower temperatures
than many of their natural ene
mles. Temperaturea of 40-50 de
grees or less reduce their activ
ity and reproduction. Continuous
temperaturea of 20 degree F or
lower for seven days or more
will reduce populations by over

Damage to wheat is via feed
